Baby P's mother Tracey Connelly released from prison

Peter Connelly died after months of abuse

The mother of Baby P has been released from prison.

Tracey Connolly was jailed in 2009 after admitting causing or allowing the death of her son Peter at their home in Tottenham, north London, in 2007.

Known initially only as Baby P, 17-month-old Peter Connolly suffered over 50 injuries, including a broken back.

Justice Secretary Dominic Raab, who had asked the Parole Board to reconsider its decision to free her, for a second time described Connelly as "pure evil".

In March, he referred to Connolly in the same way after the Parole Board decided she was suitable for release, having rejected bids in 2015, 2017 and 2019. The board heard she was considered to be at "low risk of committing a further offence" and that probation officers and prison officials supported the plan.

She was first released on licence in 2013, but was recalled to prison in 2015 for breaching her parole conditions.

Peter received 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over the final eight months of his life.

A series of reviews found there had been opportunities for officials to save the toddler's life, if they had acted properly on the warning signs.

His mother's boyfriend, Steven Barker and his brother, Jason Owen, were also jailed over Peter's death.

The boss of Haringey Council's children's services was awarded a £680,000 payout for unfair dismissal after arguing she had been "unfairly scapegoated".

A Parole Board spokesman said in a statement: "Following the reconsideration application from the secretary of state, a judge has ruled that the decision made by independent Parole Board members to release was not irrational, as stated in the reconsideration application, and the original decision is upheld."

Connelly will be subject to restrictions in terms of where she goes and who she contacts. She has more than 20 licence conditions.

They include living at a specified address - initially a bail hostel - as well as being supervised by probation, wearing an electronic tag, adhering to a curfew and having to disclose her relationships.

Her use of the internet and phone will be monitored, and she has been told she cannot go to certain places to "avoid contact with victims and to protect children".
